dc.descriptionRolston reviews Christopher J. Preston's the Synthetic Age: Outdesigning Evolution, Resurrecting Species, and Reengingeering Our World, published by MIT Press, 2018.
dc.description.abstractPreston has a new worldview, convinced "that humans have utterly transformed the earth" and have a "startling synthetic future." But he should have been more forceful about Anthropocene abuses of power. Further, his discussion of the value of wildness is relegated to a brief, puzzling postscript.
